Gosh Rita Ora has been a busy bee this year, from hosting the MTV EMA Awards in Manchester (in no less than 10 outfits), her role as judge on America’s version of The Masked Singer

Plus a tour across the US and an appearance at the Mighty Hoopla festival in London. 

As a result, we’ve been treated to an array of eclectic ensembles during the past 12 months. 

The pop starlet is certainly no wallflower and favours bold eccentric pieces and isn’t afraid of bright colours or loud patterns. She’s a maximalist’s dream and what we’d give to have a good snoop around her wardrobe.

Sartorial highlights of her year include her British Fashion Awards outfit where she spun the notion of ‘safe’ red carpet dressing on its head in a grey suit and pink tie paired with a rebellious spiky blonde mullet

Rita Ora brings game changing beauty to the British Fashion Awards in London

The super shiny silver dress worn to the final of The Masked Singer US was also a hit, topped off with matching sparkly eye makeup - the perfect party season inspiration before glitter is relegated to the back of the makeup drawer come January. 

Rita has always effortlessly blended high fashion with a heavy dose of unexpected edge. Let’s face it, her outfits are anything but boring so let's take a look back at our favourite Rita outfits of the year...

Double Denim

Rita's out and about outfits are just as impactful as her red carpet attire. This head-to-toe denim look worn in New York was topped off with a Cartier watch.

Love Birds

Suit Up

Oh how we love it when someone shakes up our expectations on the red carpet. Rita Ora's suit and shirt are from Primark believe it or not (she designs a range for the high street store), and we love the rebellious 80s esque beauty look she teamed with it.

After Party

For the Fashion Awards afterparty at Maine restaurant in Mayfair, Rita opted for a risqué sheer dress, stonking platform boots by Marc Jacobs and a shaggy fur coat to keep the British Winter chill at bay.
